Blatstein drops Marketplace Design Center deal



Developer Bart Blatstein has dropped his bid to buy the Marketplace Design Center in Philadelphia.

Blatstein’s Tower Investments put the property under agreement in the spring with hopes of closing a transaction by the end of the summer. That self-imposed deadline came and went without a sealed up deal.

Blatstein declined to comment.

The property was expected to trade for more than $40 million.

The developer had envisioned creating a mixed-use complex that would include constructing a large residential tower on the roof.

The property consists of two buildings — 2400 Market St., which is about 370,000 square feet, and 12 S. 23rd St., a six-story, 120,000-square-foot building.

Jones Lang LaSalle is marketing the property.
